If you like Danielle Steel, you'll probably like this book. It reads like 'lifestyles of the rich and famous'. Lots of description of beautiful homes and scenery. The recipes will have you drooling for lobster with cream sauces and extravagant desserts.
I like more well-rounded characters. There were a number of significant characters, all with their own problems. It appeared that all would be wrapped up by the end of the book. They were. But at the last minute a cliff-hanger was dropped, apparently so you will read the next book.
I didn't understand the conflict between Ava's daughters and herself. The reasons seemed too simple. Everyone kept too many secrets and it was difficult to understand their reasons. I thought the daughters were unnecessarily rude and then wanted their Mother to give them more than she already had. I couldn't understand why she felt so guilty that she let them walk all over her.
Her daughter's husband decides to leave his wife. He doesn't care a hoot about their baby and then he does. It was all too simple. I thought it lacked depth.
Again, if you like Danielle Steel, this book is for you.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
